Abstract excerpt
The ability of the gram-positive, food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes to tolerate environments of elevated osmolarity and reduced temperature is due in part to the transport and accumulation of the osmolyte glycine betaine. Previously we showed that glycine betaine transport was the result of Na(+)-glycine betaine symport. In this report, we identify a second glycine betaine transporter from L....
